Outrageous

With all due respect to Whitney Houston, who had one of the greatest voices ever, we think Alphonso Davies has just performed the greatest rendition of “I Will Always Love You.”

Oh no.

How did we get here? Why are there horoscopes on the hallowed pages of The18.com? Why aren’t there more extremely interesting transfer mongerings like the ones over at ESPN FC? (Sources: Man Utd pray Dybala arrives in transfer exchange for Phil Jones . . . Sources: Coutinho rejects Tottenham and mind-body dualism . . . Sources: We don't have any sources.) 

These astrological signs better at least be rooted in scientific fact, The18, or I’m going batshit crazy in the comments section. You're not ready to feel the wrath of my keyboard.

Alexi Lalas is a figure who has always gotten a lot of attention. From the massive hair and crazy playing style in the 90s to the increasingly debatable "hot-takes" as a commentator for Fox Sports, he's always found a way to be in the limelight.

I say we give a round of applause for Alexi Lalas and his hair. pic.twitter.com/52rkV3Tv7z

Good vertical jumps are touch and go in soccer — some footballers have it, some don’t. It’s not always a necessary skill when playing the game, but it sure is nice to have. However, there's one player who has it in abundance: Cristiano Ronaldo. The man has BOUNCE.

In fact, his 30-inch vertical might be even higher now since the stat was officially recorded in 2014, because we all know how much he loves to train. Below, we’ll look at his vertical compared to a few other athletes, past and present, from various sports.

Every year there’s a new twist on how to watch Premier League matches. This year, unfortunately, it’s another nightmarish twist, like something out of a damn M. Night Shyamalan movie. 

NBC has provided superlative coverage of the Premier League since obtaining the U.S. TV rights in 2013. Arlo White and Rebecca Lowe have been welcome additions to living rooms across the U.S. Alongside the likes of Kyle Martino, Robbie Earle and Robbie Mustoe, among others, few can match the quality of coverage NBC provides on its range of networks.

Have you ever been disappointed going to see your sporting hero in person? Maybe they didn’t perform well, or they were hardly involved in the game. Well, some fans in South Korea are suing a sporting agency after Cristiano Ronaldo did not play in a preseason friendly while on tour in Seoul, South Korea.

Phil Jones has had many memeable moments in his career...

Phil Jones Memes

Like this tumble.

Or his classic "head tackle."

Or even just his face.

Former Roma captain Daniele De Rossi has landed in Buenos Aires, Argentina to complete his medical ahead of a move to Boca Juniors.

The 18-year Roma veteran was released following the 2018-19 season, but not being ready to retire, De Rossi decided to look to play elsewhere. He appeared for the capital club 616 times, second only to Roma's other legendary gladiator Francesco Totti, who retired after the 2016-17 season, with 785.

It is, perhaps, the greatest hug in sports, maybe even the entire world. The infectious enthusiasm of a Jurgen Klopp hug is impossible not to love, even if you’re an Everton fan. 

So in one sense, you can’t blame a reporter in Indiana for using a follow-up question to ask for a Klopp hug of his own.
